Yeah, I wasn't to surprised that the 40gb HD wasn't going for a lot. I mean, it goes for a decent amount, so if I do decide to go the
ebay route, I would probably let the buyer pay for shipping...then again, who knows.
Might just strip them too. Like you said, get me a tote/box full and see lol.

Kinda hard to sell sometimes cause people are buying 500 and 1 tera's now to use so the "small" ones we have is a waste of their time.
Yeah, I personally have a 300gb external that I have all important files/documents on. I am soon going to be switching over to a 1TB+ though.

Just treat that like a savings account and set it aside until you have a bunch of them down the road.
Really wish you did not just say that, but that is what I was expecting. What is the normal type of chips to come out of PCs?
And trust me, I will definitely treat it like a savings account for sure.
